Unique Honeymoon Destinations

Celebrate your new marriage with a new destination you’ve likely never heard of.

To help newlyweds plan the perfect trip, Booking.com compiled a list of one-of-a-kind honeymoon spots. Your honeymoon is something you anticipate and remember for a long time, so instead of going somewhere ordinary, aim for one of these unique, distinctive destinations.

Here are our five favorites.

Udaipur, India, is said to be India’s most romantic city. At its heart lies the glassy-blue surface of Lake Pichola, a man-made lake that provides the city with a peaceful atmosphere. On either side of the lake sits the beautiful and grand Lake Palace and City Palace. Enjoy a romantic boat trip across the lake, and enjoy a lake-side or rooftop meal in the evening, with a backdrop of glittering lights reflected on the water.

For tropical beach lovers, Port Douglas, Palm Cove, is blissfully romantic. Easily find a secluded spot on the long, white sandy beach and watch the sun set over the calm, crystal-clear water, with the backdrop of the vibrant rainforest. Visit the nearby Great Barrier Reef for a little adventure, and enjoy dinner on the beach.

Akaroa, New Zealand, is a small, sheltered harbor town on the Banks Peninsula, an ideal representation of New Zealand’s rugged, beautiful landscape. In contrast to its dramatic volcanic surroundings, the town itself has a peaceful atmosphere. Spend the day swimming with dolphins and relax at night on the rustic wooden pier, while taking in the views over a bottle of fine New Zealand wine.

Collioure, France, is an inspiring and romantic provincial fishing village, its beauty inspiring the likes of Henry Matisse. Explore rolling hills of vineyards, charming cafés along the bay, a waterfront castle and church and picturesque pebbly beaches.

Fall in love all over again on your honey, this time with the panoramic views in Monsaracz, Portugal. The hilltop village overlooks the Alentejo region, home to delicious, authentic Portuguese cuisine, great wine, scenic vineyards and rolling green hills.
